[edit] June 11th, 2007
[edit] Note to all players
If you try to simulate sweeping cloaked minefields or any other "random event" using the same copy back up copies of your YIG and TRN files over and over again you will always get the same results every time. The same YIG and TRN files will always produce the exact same results over and over again.

Fixed: When an Crystal X Field interacts with a Mobile Ord Factory, it will turn it off instead of turning off the Mobile Parts Plant.
Fixed: When life pods are set to land on a planet, they would always attempt to dock to a base that belong to the player whose people were in the pod, but this wouldn't work well for prisoners. Now, if the pod owner differs from the pod's people, it will default to the pod owner's base.
Fixed: When planets explode from high stress, the bases on them will be destroyed and messages will be sent. Cash, metals, ore, etc will no longer be present on the remaining asteroid.
